Reply #29: I don't think that's the main concern with net neutrality.

It's one thing to charge people who use more bandwith higher prices. But the real reason we need net neutrality is to ensure that companies don't decide which services to allow on their network and which ones to disallow. Blocking YouTube in favor of their own company's proprietary video service etc. It would create these walled-off separate networks in which some people with one service provider would not be able to use Google Maps but would have to use the company's mapping service, which may not be as good or as reliable or whatever. OR be barred from using certain apps because they are from a competitor.

This I think is the real danger with the new rules. I prefer no rules at all actually because these new rule open the door for bad things. This is yet another example of the Obama administration caving in to corporate demands.
